Job Description

You'll load and offload trucks at a parcel sorting hub in Sandton so every delivery goes out full and correct. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Sandton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

You'll need

  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

Extra points for

  • Past work as a driver's assistant
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

What you get

  • Route-completion incentives in busy months
  • Help to get your own licence through the company later
  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Meal allowance on long-route days

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus police clearance if you already have one.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Sandton.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
  • Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
